Hi! Newbie here. I have an X10a locked to Rogers.
I plan to do all three to my phone: Unlock, Debrand
and Root. Is there a particular or ideal order on
which one I should do first?
Sorry if this question has already been asked. Thanks!
either or, it doesn't matter dude :-D it will stay unlocked no matter what ROM you put on it, no matter how many different ROMs. but if you want to 'debrand'(no need when you can flash generic ROM) you need to root it.

Its already unlocked, I just want to install a new fw on it
if you want a simple and stable system you can try pfonck's 2.1.1.Clean.0.0.
I have a Motorola Atrix from Orange UK. I unlocked the SIM to use it in India, Unlocked the BootLoader and flashed CM7. Now I want to go back to original Motorola ROM. Is it possible, if yes, HOW? Kindly post other links of this procedure if anybody knows about some way to do it.

Look in the stickies section of Atrix development forum. And find the sbf for unlocked bootloader. Or if u just want the blur UI try the Aura Rom. It has a lot of mods but the theme is basically stock.

You will never get brick by flashing/restoring through recovery.

hey, I think i have the same problem, i have an atrix with cyanogenmod-7-12112011-nightly-olympus, Android version 2.3.7
And i would like to know if its posible to get the original settings if I back up another atrix from the same carrier (telcel - MExico), so i can get rid of the cyanogen and i can have it with factory settings.
If its posible, can anyone help me and tell me how to do it?
thank you very much

Hi, guys could anyone give me instructions as how to flash the Motorola Atrix 4G At&T. I have rooted it. Its currently on 2.3.6 build 4.5.141. What is the best way to flash. I do not want to risk bricking. Could anyone tell me what is the advantages of a unlocked bootloader and how do I unlock it.
Any help will be appreciated

To flash ROMs, you got to unlock the bootloader first... Search the archive on how to unlock the bootloader.

Hi i have been searching and there are quite a few different threads all giving different methods. I don't know which one to follow
Here you go. READ absolutely everything before you attempt to do anything. Be patient and do not freak out if something goes wrong. You will not brick your phone if you follow the instructions.

Hi, I came from the Motorola bravo and now I have the x10a. I noticed things are a lot different here from there. I want to install a custom Rom but keep my bootloader locked. Is that possible? And also what Rom would you recommend for stability and speed? How do you overlook on the stock Rom? Sorry for all the questions, xperia is so much different from Motorola so I want to make sure my phone doesnt get bricked.

Hello and welcome to x10 xda. Yes, you can flash locked bootloader ROMs as long as you updated latest 2.3.3official GB from sony pc companion, to get compatible baseband for most roms. Then, get your 2.3.3 rooted and installed xrecovery. Last is, download you desired ROM.zip and updates. Remember visit their thread and follow instruction properly.
If you are newcomer for rooting x10/flashing, you may visit my signature link for pdf guides. Although older version, but more stable and reliable and higher success to failure ratio.
For recommending awesome and smooth Roms for locked bootloader, try donutHD 2.2.8jelly bean. Its the best now for locked and unlocked bootloader. I got link too in my signature.
All the best

Thank you for your help. You are very much appreciated
